I connected Siemens CFX65 to PC via com-port(RS232) for evaluating data exchange and I see:
>at
OK
>AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","mms.my-mmsc.com"

OK
>ATD*99***1#

CONNECT

NO CARRIER

What is it?
I suppose I must establish connection with MMSC,
but what protocols can I use?
Is it WSP/WTP datagram (WAP-230/WAP259)?

Sorry, this is the technical support forum for the Now SMS/MMS Gateway product.

I have to give my priority attention to responding to technical support queries regarding our products.

To give a very brief answer, after the modem reports "CONNECT", there must be a PPP negotiation to establish a TCP/IP link.

The MM1 protocol for MMS is used, which uses the MMS Encapsulation format defined by the Open Mobile Alliance.

In many environments, MMS messages are transmitted over WSP/WTP/WDP, while sometimes HTTP is used. Either way, when an MMS notification is used to deliver an MMS message to a mobile phone, that part uses WAP push over WSP/WDP (connection-less push bypasses the WTP layer).
